Systems and methods for improving determination of encoded image data using a video encoding pipeline, which includes a first transcode engine that entropy encodes a first portion of a bin stream to determine a first bit stream including first encoded image data that indicates a first coding group row and that determines first characteristic data corresponding to the first bit stream to facilitate communicating a combined bit stream; and a second transcode engine that entropy encodes a second portion of the bin stream to determine a second bit stream including second encoded image data that indicates a second coding group row while the first transcode engine entropy encodes the first portion of the bin stream and that determines second characteristic data corresponding to the second bit stream to facilitate communicating the combined bit stream, which includes the first bit stream and the second bit stream, to a decoding device.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
3. The video encoding pipeline circuitry of claim 1, comprising a data buffer communicatively coupled to the first transcode engine and the second transcode engine, wherein the first transcode engine is configured to determine first neighbor data and comprises a first write block configured send the first neighbor data to the data buffer.
4. The video encoding pipeline circuitry of claim 3, wherein the second transcode engine comprises a read block configured to receive the first neighbor data from the data buffer.
5. The video encoding pipeline circuitry of claim 4, wherein the read block is communicatively coupled to a storage device and configured to receive the second portion of the bin stream from the storage device.
6. The video encoding pipeline circuitry of claim 5, wherein the second transcode engine is configured to determine second neighbor data and comprises a second write block configured to send the second neighbor data to the storage device.
7. The video encoding pipeline circuitry of claim 3, wherein the first transcode engine is configured to determine context data and the first write block is configured to send the context data to the data buffer.
8. The video encoding pipeline circuitry of claim 1, wherein the video encoding pipeline circuitry is at least partially included in a processor.
10. The system of claim 9, wherein the first transcode engine comprises a first encoding block configured to encode a first coding group in the first coding group row and determine neighbor data based at least in part on encoding the first coding group.
11. The system of claim 10, comprising a data buffer communicatively coupled to the first transcode engine and the second transcode engine.
13. The system of claim 12, wherein the second transcode engine is configured to encode a second coding group in the second coding group row based at least in part on the neighbor data.
16. The electronic device of claim 15, wherein the second transcode engine is configured to encode a second coding group of the second coding group row based on the neighbor data.
18. The electronic device of claim 17, wherein the video encoding pipeline comprises a second pipeline that is separate from the first pipeline and configured to receive source image data and generate the bin stream from the source image data.
19. The electronic device of claim 18, comprising an image sensor configured to capture the source image data.
20. The electronic device of claim 15, wherein the electronic device is a portable phone, a media player, a personal data organizer, a handheld game platform, a watch, a tablet device, a computer, or any combination thereof.
